Recipe: Pumpkin Spice Latté Fat Balls (with Collagen + Superfoods)

Admit it, you love when autumn comes and pumpkin EVERYTHING starts coming out. Pumpkin pie. Pumpkin soup. Pumpkin bread. And yes…even pumpkin spice lattés. Well today I’m sharing a healthy recipe for Pumpkin Spice Latté fat balls, with a twist!

I admittedly am obsessed with this fat ball trend (also known as bliss balls, energy bites, energy balls, etc.). But seriously, they are easy to make, healthy, filling, and a perfect snack!

So let’s get to the recipe 🍁

These balls are slightly sweet.
Pumpkin-y.
Maple-y.
Nutty and filling.
Packed with collagen and healthy fats.
And the best part: caffeinated.

(the caffeine part is optional and the recipe will still work without it, but I obviously recommend WITH 😉)

I love using the Four Sigmatic mushroom instant coffee powder for this recipe. It sounds weird because it’s “mushroom coffee” but trust me, you can’t even tell and it just tastes like coffee. It has cordyceps and Chaga which are medicinal mushroom superfoods. They have antioxidant properties and promote anti-aging and mental clarity, as well as help balance the energy from the coffee. Meaning you’ll get a sustained energy boost without the jitters. Cordyceps and chaga also help bring down the acidity of the coffee and make it less taxing on your adrenals.

I buy these packets from Thrive Market. You can also buy Four Sigmatic on Amazon. Instant coffee powder of any kind will work for this recipe, though ☕
